Media notes
Distinctive call repeated several times, but I never saw the bird. It sounded like a flycatcher and I assumed I could ID it later, but I have not had any luck matching the sonogram. Western Wood-Pewee is closest and probably most likely, but there were some pretty substantial differences with the pewees I recorded elsewhere in the canyon. Unfortunately it was pretty windy by then
Observation details
Recorded a bird that I could not see that was giving distinctive and very repetitive call notes. I assumed it was a flycatcher at the time and it still sounds like one to me. The spectrogram has a shape I was unable to pair with another species. Western Wood-Pewee was closest in shape, but the frequency was a little lower and the second half of the call much different.
